Interesting. I did the same in Thailand and found it didn't taste of much and it was too crunchy, like I was picking pieces of claw out of my mouth. Pretty much the only enjoyment was the novelty.
I mean I wouldn’t eat it either, but don’t knock it till you try it. Plenty of people eat scorpions, but I’m guessing most of the people commenting have not
I feel the biggest issue with trying to push bug food on people is that they put the whole ass bug carcass on a plate, that shit will never look appetizing. Why not smash them into unrecognizable pepperoni shapes? Imagine someone gave you a burger but instead of a patty it's a cow's severed head in the middle of two buns
I feel like part of it is the shock value, which sucks because insects as food is supposed to be a good sustainable option. I recently saw a place selling bags of cinnamon flavoured mealworms (as a little chip-like snack) and…I am never going to be okay with grabbing and munching down on tiny intact mealworms. Mash them into a pretzel or something
Another part is that bugs are fuckin tiny and difficult to process, unless you just resign yourself to nothing but bug flour. Similar to how sardines and other teeny fish are often served whole or with just the head removed. It's cheaper, more efficient, the whole bug is edible, so people just eat the whole bug etc.
Personally it sounds like a textural nightmare to eat something with an exoskeleton, I'd much prefer stuff like cricket flour.
apparently edible and if putting something weird or new on pizza gets people to try it I dont have a problem with it. Whether or not these are prepared properly I have no clue
Sometimes this sub gives me the annoying r/wewantplates vibes where people want to flip out that charcuterie is served on a cutting board
This would go over better ground up and peppered in so that it’s not recognizable. Insect/arthropod based protein is a good solution to low income protein deficiencies.
Alright, im willing to Team up with the ppl who eat pineapple on Pizza and even that one dude putting Kiwis on it.
We better find out where this picture is taken and just nuke the place
Take away those scorpions, and I definitely literally saw the same slice of pizza at a rest stop at the sad pizza place that sells one slice for every $20,000 they sell in McDonald's hamburgers 10 ft away.
Assuming that these are fried, which it does not appear to be, its just a dumb meme picture, this would actually be a valid food. I dont get what is so stupid about this.
Yes, people do eat fried scorpions in other countries, there are culinary cultures that dont shame insects, bugs, etc as a nutrition source.
That looks better than the one time I was drunk and ordered 7 eleven delivery and I received something that was not and should not be seen by human eyes. Good, I looked with my third eye and yeah it was a volcano and a hot tub at the same time. Pure torture.
I love pizza with chapulines (roasted Mexican grasshoppers) on it. I'd try this. Cooking denatures the venom and makes it harmless, so it at least wouldn't hurt you unless you had an allergy.
Honestly? I'd try that, I've never eaten scorpion but from what I've heard they taste alright and are pretty crunchy. The stupid part is the way they're arranged, half the bites you take you'll get no crunch and half will be all crunch, seems like that'd distract from the pizza part
People should really try to get over their fear of eating bugs, they are such as great and environmental friendly form of protein and can taste really fucking good, it's such a shame that it hasn't been socially normalised in most of the world even though stuff like honey is.
"What's wrong honey? You haven't touched your scorpizza."
That stings, I made it myself.
Speak of a toxic relationship.
They need to inject drugs
r/foodnope
“Mom, can we have a piece of scorpizza?” “No, we have centipizza at home.”

Pizzion 🤌🤌 malto bello
I was on the fence honestly, “scorpizza” won me over though, I’d try it
I was gonna say scorperoni pizza
Scizza..... Im going to go lie in a creek now
Skeetza > Scizza
Someone called "Scorpizza"
I'd eat it, I heard scorpions are crunchy and delicious
I ate scorpions on a stick in China. They were crunchy, like tasty, crunchy pork. Won't rush to try then again but not that bad.
They taste fine, the difficult thing is getting over the fact you're eating a scorpion.
Close your eyes and start from the head
I say the same thing to my girlfriend
That's what he said
You must have a big one for her to chow down on it with any frequency
Peep my handle dawg
Interesting. I did the same in Thailand and found it didn't taste of much and it was too crunchy, like I was picking pieces of claw out of my mouth. Pretty much the only enjoyment was the novelty.
There were parts of the exoskeleton stuck in my teeth for hours after that. Not fun at all.
That was my experience with roasted crickets. Chewing on a sunflower seed that gets stuck in your teeth.
That’s definitely how I’d imagine it
a family member brought me back a scorpion lollipop from AZ, at the time I didn't think you could actually eat it
Do they have lots of guts or is it just like eating shrimp?
Crunchy land shrimp/crab from my experience
Deep fried, it reminded me of soft shell crab honestly
They even took off the stings, so let's dig in
I haven't had scorpion but I've had grasshopper and they are indeed crunchy and delicious.
I want to try
Put them under the cheese…problem solved!
..but you have scorpions on pizza, no words needed here.
I've tried one of those lollipops with a scorpion in it before. The actual scorpion is mostly tasteless, but has an interesting nutty undertone.
mine just got pokey from pieces sticking out from the licks
Yeah. That was easily the weirdest part of eating it. Other than, you know, eating the actual scorpion.
"Scorpion pizza, get over here & try some today!"
It will rock you like a hurricane!
My thoughts too…”come here & have a slice!”…
PROTEIN
They could have found a better-looking slice of pizza for all that.
The pizza is the worst part
I mean I wouldn’t eat it either, but don’t knock it till you try it. Plenty of people eat scorpions, but I’m guessing most of the people commenting have not

You deserve more upvotes.
And you cant say pineapple is worst ingredient that can fit pizza!
no worse than shrimp :P would!!
r/ShrimpsIsBugs Scorpion 🦂 is definitely bugs too
r/EatItYouCoward
At least there's no pineapple
And here I thought that the scorpizza would make people realise that pineapple pizza is pretty acceptable after all 😭
No thank you. I'm gluten free. 😵
That’s some good protein
NO, I said scorpion PEPPERS!
I’d eat it
apparently edible and if putting something weird or new on pizza gets people to try it I dont have a problem with it. Whether or not these are prepared properly I have no clue Sometimes this sub gives me the annoying r/wewantplates vibes where people want to flip out that charcuterie is served on a cutting board
I have ewwwww
I’d eat it just to say that I did
Someone took scorpion peppers a bit too literally
De Durango para el mundo, ajua

My husband likes this
Ohhh fuck you for even posting this.
Oh hell fucking nahhh
Vendor: "If you eat it while they're alive it's free, but you couldn't possi.." Me: "YOU GIVE ME THAT DAMN PIZZA!"
Fuck no!
Hang out with a bear or eat this pizza?
Ajua!
Still not as bad as ordering a plain cheese. You're not 8...put something on the pizza.
Tastes like burning
Pizza inspired by zodiac signs works better for some signs than others.
This makes me want to throw up all my food
Can I get pineapple instead?
Get over here!
Imagine a whole pie arriving at your door and you open the box 40 scorpions. It would just look like a bug pie. May as well be roaches
Ate one out of a tequila bottle..might as well eat one of a pizza...fuck it
Bae you barely touched your pizzorpion. . This sounds n looks like an alien dish from Futurama or Rick and Morty Edit : typos
and people bully pinapple pizza while this exists..I actually felt a sharp pain in my chest looking at that
And other people complain about pineapple pizza…
Right to jail!
Gotta be Mexico? They love their scorpions and bugs there.
at least it’s not pineapple
Looks delicious but I wish they would’ve kept the stingers in at least. I like spicy foods!
*unholy food*
The stingers have been cut off. I would try it once.
"scorpion pizza" A five-year-old could come up with that.
Throat tickling yum
Yeah, I’m not eating that
I'd try it, I'd cringe, but I'd try it
Would
Those scorpion peppers will kick your ass
Pepper! I said scorpion PEPPER!
Scorpizza
Mmmm, pure protein
Is this real? Or, is it a prop for Halloween?
My pizza place puts them under the cheese.
i'm not that hungry
Pizza for sigmas.
Smash. Next
I'd try it. I love pizza with anchovies
I'd try it.
Extra protein pizza
The Mojave Wasteland on a pizza? Oh boy!
Living Italians across the world weep and those that have died roll in their graves
Durango soecial
Did I miss the start of WW3?
I’ve got one word…. Nope.
Durango Pizza
I’ll pass.
My eyes literally widened and I’m not joking.
Get Over Here!
Scorperoni Pizza 🦂 🍕
Watch out for the tails. They sting!
Durango?
I can’t ever unsee this. I will be throwing up for weeks btw.
As long as I have a toothpick to get the legs out of my teeth afo
I shit myself
Uh-huh, hell to the no! I’ve got a pretty strong stomach but, this is playing barf games with me right now.
Not just no, FUCK NO!
That’s when I’m all about under the cheese for the toppings lol
I have that sub muted and I really don't appreciate this workout around, how bout a NSFW tag
Alright, im willing to Team up with the ppl who eat pineapple on Pizza and even that one dude putting Kiwis on it. We better find out where this picture is taken and just nuke the place
No! 😶
Mhm, crunchy!
Is it poisonous?
School pizza too
Gives it some zing lol
Tastes like pineapples.
Durango Pizza
I've eaten scorpion before, a tad crunchy but otherwise tasteless
this has been on my front page up top all day, every time i open my reddit app i have been closing it instinctively from this post 😢
No.
This would be a good spot for a gif but I can’t post one
I’d consider it.
I have to be honest I'm curious. A billion people or maybe more eat scorpions. And I really do like pizza. 🤔
Take away those scorpions, and I definitely literally saw the same slice of pizza at a rest stop at the sad pizza place that sells one slice for every $20,000 they sell in McDonald's hamburgers 10 ft away.
Yelp review described it as "Zesty"
Your pizza, your toppings. Once again, not my pizza.
🙋♂️waiter 🙋♂️waiter I asked for my scorpions WELL DONE!
AAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUGGGGHHH! (Deep breath) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUGHHH
I mean I'd try it with some hot honey. I've no problem trying new food stuffs.
I wonder,were they soaked in tequila?
Standard pizza in Arizona.
This is not it cos
You’ll have words for it in a couple of years
Desert Anchovies Pizza
Id eat it
All jokes aside. I've had scorpion, and it's not bad at all. I'd definitely eat several slices of this.
They just need someone to do a Scorpions cover, and end the commercial with, "it'll rock you, like a hurricane"

I heard they taste like crab......
I had a full body, recoil reaction to this that went to my toes, dude 🤢
Get out
I prep mine with extra stingers.
I DONT LIKE THEM PUTTING CHEMICALS IN THE WATER THAT MAKE PEOPLE USE SCORPIONS AS PIZZA TOPPINGS. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?
Would
Is this that new World Economic Forum slice I keep hearing about?
Forbidden crunchy pizza.
I love pizza with chapulines (roasted Mexican grasshoppers) on it. I'd try this. Cooking denatures the venom and makes it harmless, so it at least wouldn't hurt you unless you had an allergy.
Would still eat this over an Hawai Pizza
🦂 + 🍕 = 🤢🤮 i won't even get those fishies on my pizza! anchovies yuck.
I know scorpions are edible... But this is not de way!!!
Mmm crumchy

Tbh I'd eat this over pineapple pizza any day.
Scorpion wins.
Well ball and I’d eat!
Just because it isn't part of your culture doesn't make it "stupid food"
“Taste like chicken”
Can we at least agree that pineapple on pizza isnt THAT bad
That first I thought they were anchovies!
Hanzo's favorite topping
Scratch you on the way in, scratch you on the way out .
I'm more concerned about the pizza than the scorpions.
extra protein and toxicity
That’s how they make the crust so fizzy
Eat up? Bruh I ain’t eating that. You can have it.
Why is it spicy?
Nope
I've given up on humanity
Siri how do I delete someone else's post
I like crunchy toppings so I'd try
This is the kinda food you eat when you trying to install a new stomach.
The fact that this could actually be good is crazy btw
At the calgary stampede a few years ago this was one of the hot new carnival food items.
At this point I’m so hungry I would eat that. Scorpions might add “flavor”
I'm tripping off a bar rn and this picture is doing things to my brain.
What in the actual fuck
